Famous quote by Bruce Jenner

"When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards"

About this Quote

This quote by Bruce Jenner is referring to the phenomenon of spoonerisms, which is when a person inadvertently switches the preliminary sounds of two words in an expression. For example, saying "nose bleed" instead of "increased bead". Jenner is suggesting that when the brain is processing details, the second word comes up quicker than the first one. This triggers the person to consider the words in reverse order, leading to a spoonerism. This phenomenon is most likely due to the truth that the brain is processing the info much faster than the person can articulate it. Therefore, the person ends up stating the words in the incorrect order. This quote highlights the significance of being mindful of the words we use and how we say them, as even the most knowledgeable speakers can make mistakes.
